Multiple Authors

If your site has multiple authors, you can add them to your settings:

author = {
    'default': 'lepture',

    'vars': {
        'lepture': {
            'name': 'Hsiaoming Yang',
            'website': 'http://lepture.com',
            'email': 'lepture@me.com',
        },
        'kitty': {
            'name': 'Hello Kitty',
            'website': 'http://hellokitty.com',
        }
    }
}

And when you write a post, the default author is ‘lepture’, but you can change it by:

# Hello World

- date: 2012-12-12
- author: kitty
